To Compare: A dilute solution of a strong acid and a concentrated solution of a weak acid.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction: Acid is a substance which has a tendency to produce hydrogen ions when dissolved in water.
The number of
Acids which ionizes almost completely in aqueous solutions producing a large number of
Acids which ionizes to a small degree at ordinary dilution to give low concentration of
Therefore, greater the degree of dissociation of the acid, the stronger is the acid.
The concentration of a solution is related to the amount of acid dissolved in the solution.
On diluting an acid, the ionization of an acid increases therefore, concentration of
A strong acid produces a large number of
However, a concentrated solution of a weak acid produces a low concentration of
Therefore, the acidic strength of a dilute solution of a strong acid is more than a concentrated solution of a weak acid.
Conclusion: A dilute solution of a strong acid is more acidic than a concentrated solution of a weak acid.
